FINALLY!!! Thank you so much for this. It actually works for local file urls! I finally have the home, start and new page I want in Edge on my Windows 10 and 11 laptops! The only thing I cannot get to work correctly is the option for "Focus on the address bar on the new tab page". Checked of unchecked, my new tab focus starts on the address bar. Because it allows me to use my own local html file, I still give it 5 stars. :-)
